Best HR software for Ludhiana hosiery, cycle parts, auto parts & dyeing businesses. PF/ESI/TDS payroll, attendance & CRM. Punjab = No state PT. Covers Focal Point Industrial Area. Free trial.
Punjab does not levy state-level Professional Tax, which means workers in Ludhiana's hosiery mills, cycle factories, auto-parts plants, and dyeing units have zero PT deducted. PF (EPFO) and ESI (ESIC) remain fully mandatory. Avani auto-calculates PF at 12% of basic (both employee and employer shares), ESI at 0.75% + 3.25% for workers earning ≤ ₹21,000/month gross, and TDS under Section 192. The EPFO ECR file for the Ludhiana regional office and ESIC challan data are exported automatically with PT correctly at nil.
Ludhiana is the industrial capital of Punjab — the world's largest producer of bicycle parts, a major hosiery and knitwear hub, and a key auto-components manufacturer. These industries combine permanent workers, seasonal contract labour, and piece-rate operators. Avani handles all three: configure piece-rate payroll by unit produced, daily-wage for contract workers, and monthly salary for permanent staff — all in one platform, with a single consolidated EPFO ECR and ESIC challan at month end.
From Focal Point industrial area factories to dyeing units in Gill Road and field sales reps covering Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi NCR, Avani's mobile GPS attendance with geo-fencing captures accurate clock-ins at every site. Import biometric gate-entry CSV for large manufacturing floors. Field staff log location-stamped check-ins from the mobile app. Late arrivals and absent days auto-trigger LOP in payroll, eliminating the attendance-reconciliation step that typically delays Ludhiana factory payroll by days.
Ludhiana's textile, hosiery, and auto-parts factories commonly run two or three shifts to maximise machine utilisation. Avani supports multiple shift configurations — morning, evening, and night with different start/end times — plus shift rotation, week-off scheduling, and overtime calculation at the statutory multiplier. Night-shift allowances are configured once and applied automatically in payroll, so shift-based salary computation requires no manual intervention.
Ludhiana's hosiery, cycle, and auto-parts exporters manage complex dealer and buyer relationships across India and abroad. Avani's built-in CRM lets sales teams log buyer inquiries, track quotations, record follow-up calls, and monitor deal pipeline — inside the same platform where HR manages payroll. No separate Zoho CRM subscription is needed, and exporters gain a unified view of both their workforce and their commercial pipeline.
Set monthly production targets for the factory floor and sales targets for the field team from one KPI dashboard. Avani auto-generates employee rankings based on actual versus target, linked to attendance data. For Ludhiana's performance-driven industrial culture, this means appraisal and incentive decisions are backed by objective data — not managers' subjective recall — reducing disputes during annual salary revision cycles.

ESI and PF applicability are checked automatically against the resulting gross figure. This works alongside monthly salaried staff in the same payroll run.
Yes. Configure morning, evening, and night shifts with custom timings, assign employees to shifts, set up rotation schedules, and define week-offs.

Yes. Avani's built-in CRM is designed for exactly this use case — logging dealer orders, buyer inquiries, quotations, and follow-up calls.
